Description
Contents: The 1983 College Football Preview (We’ve hit the books and done our homework. Here are the report cards), The Next Superstar (Ultra-talented Marcus Dupree of the Oklahoma Sooners could become the first sophomore in history to win the Heisman Trophy. The only hitch could be: Marcus Dupree), The SPORT Top 20 (Sometimes the schedule makers tilt the rankings more than players and more than head coaches. For example, there’s an awfully talented team in Ann Arbor, and there’s an awfully tough coach in Norman, but there’s an awfully soft schedule in Knoxville), Conference-By-Conference (Every team gets ranked and graded, from dynasty to doormat. The Hogs get an A, the Terps get a B, the Rebs get a C and the Ducks get a D), Ten Questions (Who’s the sleeper team. Who’s the worst team. What about ‘Bama without the Bear? Get your answers here), Arm Wrestling For A Pennant (The Atlanta Braves and the Los Angeles Dodgers have been at each other’s throats all season. If you look at their ages and look at their farms, this war could last for years. But the key is to look at their arms), The Sudden Rise Of Noah’s Arc (When Frenchman Yannick Noah won the French Open, a national hero was anointed. If Noah should win the upcoming U.S. Open – and he could – an international star would be born. And tennis would be changed), Setting Free The Bears (The Chicago Bears have a great tradition. Unfortunately, that’s the only great thing they’ve had in a long, long time. But hark. First came Mike Ditka, and then came Jim McMahon, and now…the backwards Bears are ready to enter the Eighties), He’s Stranger Than His Rangers (Doug Rader arrived in Texas with a renegade reputation, a terrible temper and zero experience as a major league manager. And he was handed one of the worst teams in baseball. They’re not anymore), Interview: Bowie Kuhn (Despite a career of ducking the spotlight, Bowie Kuhn has landed in controversy. Meet the man who’s presided over – some say, watched from the grandstand – baseball’s most tumultuous years) Departments – Fanfare, Sport Talk, Sport Quiz, Finish Line
